These videos are a gold mine. George Knudson was a great man and a friend of my Grandmothers, they worked for years together at Oakdale GCC.

Wow, the model holes are so much more pleasing than drone flyovers and CGI animation. I wish I had one of them.

Thanks for posting this. I saw this broadcast as it happened in '69 and read the subsequent article the next week written by Dan Jenkins for Sports Illustrated. I remembered Archer winning, Knudson contending, and Coody bogeying, but had completely forgotten about Casper and his chip shot nearly going in. I played with Mr. Coody in August of '72, the year following his Master's victory, in a tournament where there was a junior tournament being played while the pro we played with competed against other pros. There were 21 pros and 63 juniors who made the cut in our tournament and three of us were paired with each pro. While Coody only won 3 tour events in his long career, he won twice on European Tour, five times on the Champions Tour, and played continuously in the Masters through 2006.

This is great, thank you for sharing these historic broadcasts.

How cool are those scale models of each hole. I wonder if they still exist.

Thank you so much for sharing these historic rounds of golf!

Awesome. THANK YOU for posting a rich treasure trove of golf history. Let's hope the USGA follows suit.

Those scale models of each hole are super cool! I hope they are still around somewhere.

these are incredible

This is the game I fell in love with before Augusta became the Disney version of a golf course and players made up their own minds up about club selection and strategy without lengthy discussions and instructions from a caddie as part of the 'team'. The golf course looks far more natural back then,judging by the stripes the greens were hand mowed.

Arnold Palmer said that George's approach on the 18th was as great a pressure shot as he'd ever seen.

RIP: Pat Summerall (1930-2013), Frank Gifford and Frank Glieber (1934-1985)..

WONDERFUL - and a great reminder of what a worthy champion George was.

amazes me that this broadcast isn't that different from todays broadcast. The slow mo critique of players swings were cool to see.

Watched Casper practicing putting once on a big empty green. It was phenomenal. Great seeing Mr X

This is where all the Masters frustration began for Weiskopf. So close so often but never won. Arguably only Greg Norman experienced more heartache at Augusta than Tom.

RIP Bruce Fleisher (October 16, 1948 - September 23, 2021)

Those scale models of each hole are super cool. Hope they still exist.

That’s my grandpa

How are there 3 thumbs down on this pure classic of golf. I enjoyed depressed area, now a false front

Wieskopf was the Greg Norman of his era at Augusta, so close so many times.

Think about this: As it turned out, if Archer hadn't made that miraculous par on 15, there could've easily been a FOUR man 18 hole playoff. How insane would that have been?

George Archer 29 years old, dang, people look old back then.

Fantastic videos, back in the days when trousers were measured in chest size. Got to love the scale models.

it’s crazy how close to the green the spectators were. nuts.

I see these older videos and am always struck by how much slower the greens were than they are now.

This was the first major win using a Ping Anser. Amazing to think how many more majors would be won using Karsten Solheim’s putter design.

George Archer. Great swing, great short game. His shot on 15 after taking a drop, getting up and down was truly something. Amazing approach shot on 18 pin hi likely exactly where he was aiming. He then has the respect for the golf course and the game to replace his own divot. Now that is class. After his death , with his permission his widow announced that George Archer was in fact illiterate. Pretty amazing what he accomplished.

Trevino told Casper after 54 holes that he had no chance to ever win at Augusta, so he didn't even bother to show up the following year. and yes, Billy did claim his green jacket in '70

Knudsen GOAT golf swing

Tom just could not get it done .what a golf swing

Two big guys two great swings!!

Strikingly bold move by Archer to finish putting on 17. He applied quite a bit of pressure to young Tom W.

So weird to see players not shaking hands after the 18th hole.

There seem to be no Commercial breaks...no wonder so many people loved the 50's and 60's

Billy Casper donning an Augusta National cap, doubt he got the $50 that Amana was paying pros like Archer. Great OOPS! shot @ 1:06:16 in the studio.

I have more fun than now.thanks PGA

Wow! From the camera behind him you could trace Archer's t-shot on 14! (6:15)

Wonder now that Billy Payne longer runs Augusta we may see more stuff like this from Augusta National?

Back when you could actually hit a putt, at the Masters. Now all they can do is tap it and watch it roll 20 feet. That's not golf.

Knudson straight up looks like he’s hiding something! That guy never saw the ball after it left the club face with those shades on! Blues brother

Was pat sommeral the announcer, great to see frank as well

Where are Seve and Tiger?

George Knudson, the closest Canada came to winning a green jacket; until 2003.....

Bobby Jones was in terrible decline health wise, 2 years from passing

For a chance to tie, 1:08:38 some sort of glitch of sound and swing. Lol

Why do golf videos on line seem like they are from the 1800’s lol

Why do some great golfers have humpbacks. Fleetwood. Cody. Some more but I’m not focused to remember now lol

Go george go.

No drug testing back then boys and girls!!

Gomer Pyle beats Casper the friendly golf

The faithful girl meteorologically mess up because edward spectacularly exist under a separate volcano. late, mysterious lily

How cool are those scale models, wonder if they are still around?

Why black and white tho when there was colour in 1939 🤔
